Common Reasons & Effective Strategies

H-1B visa is one of the most popular U.S. work visas, allowing employers to hire foreign
professionals in specialty occupations such as IT, engineering, finance, architecture, and
healthcare. However, due to increased scrutiny from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS), many petitions face a Request for Evidence (RFE).

Receiving an RFE can feel discouraging, but it’s important to remember: an RFE is not a
denial. Instead, it is USCIS’s way of asking for additional information before making a final
decision. A strong, well-prepared response can turn an RFE into an approval.

This guide explains:
